Details
One of the experiences of any Italian holiday is a Venetian gondola ride. For centuries, the traditional flat bottom boat has been a major means of transportation in Venice, though its primary role today is to take tourists on rides. Gondoliers may seem like "rough-and-ready" characters, however they are highly skilled operators constantly working on the perfect balance of this watercraft. The profession, passed down through generations, is regulated by a guild which issues a limited number of licenses to gondoliers trained to navigate the narrow passages of the Venetian canals. Explore part of the Grand Canal, as well as minor, hidden waterways. Gondola hold a maximum of five passengers each. Please note this is not a private gondola ride. Your gondolier will indicate the seating arrangements to balance the boat and you may not be seated next to your travel companions. Though you may envision the gondolier singing to you, there will only be a musician aboard one of the boats in your fleet of several different gondolas.
Approximate tour duration is 30 minutes.
